Strategic auto battler
Teamfight Tactics is an auto battler developed by Riot Games. You will go up against another user or with a computer-generated enemy. Each of you must create a strategy to construct the best team of League of Legends champions. This includes where they should be placed on the board. Its game mechanics are similar to chess games in that players place characters on a grid-shaped battlefield before the game starts. The characters will fight the opposing team without any direct input from you. This makes your placement critical as the game will run automatically. The player with the most number of LoL champions will be declared the winner.
Straightforward action
In Teamfight Tactics, you must fight against 7 players one-by-one. Each player must build a team of champions across multiple rounds. Once you have selected your champions, you will no longer have any direct control over them. You are only limited to building an effective team and positioning them well. You can add more champions by purchasing them with the gold you receive at the end of each round.
Other than the gold payment, there are no limits to the kind of champions you can buy. You can purchase two champions of the same kind, and the system will automatically create a single powerful version of this character. You can also use gold to equip them with weapons and skins, which can also help in increasing their stats.
Should you win against another player, the damage to their health will carry over to other rounds. The damage will depend on the number of champions you have on your team. As the game changes, so must your strategy, Each round pins you against another player. You will need to adapt to your opponent’s tactics to increase your chances of becoming the last player standing.
Worthwhile rewards
Teamfight Tactics is divided into rounds. Most of the rounds have you squaring off with another player’s team of champions. The remaining rounds can put have you play against non-playable characters. Fighting with NPCs will give you a chance to win an item. Other rounds can simply instruct you to draft new champions from a carousel. Before each round, you will be given time to purchase or reorganize items and champions.
This includes trading characters between the board and your bench area. At the end of each round, you automatically collect gold and XP. Other than champions, you can use gold to purchase XP and jumble the set of champions you can purchase after each round. XP can only increase your level, but this allows you to gather more champions per round and gives you access to rare LoLchampions.
Superb spin-off
Teamfight Tactics can be a game that puts you at the edge of your seat. One way it does this is the automated gameplay. Once you have your players loaded onto their positions, you have sealed your fate in the game. Another way is to cash in gold during rerolls of the carousel. This can help you unlock any champion you need to build a stronger team. The game itself can deliver strategic but satisfying gameplay as you do not have to worry about controlling your players but bringing the best out of them by placing them in the right spot.
